The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

Chapter 166

166 Zhao Xiu’s Thoughts

Soon, a few bowls of sliced noodles were served. Old Madam Jin ate quietly.

Unlike usual, Old Madam Jin didn’t leave immediately after eating the noodles. Instead, she sat there and sized up the shop.

“Little girl, can’t you leave a room for me in your shop?” Old Madam Jin suddenly looked at Li Xiaoran, who was walking back, and said.

Li Xiaoran was shocked. Then, she calmed down and sat beside Old Madam Jin.

“Old lady, are you too lonely and want to have fun in our noodle shop?” Li Xiaoran could feel Old Madam Jin’s loneliness, so she asked.

When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she nodded. “I didn’t misjudge you. You’re the best at reading people!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Old Madam Jin’s words, she thought for a moment and said, “Old lady, my shop is very small and there’s no room for you to stay. Look, there is a lot of land nearby. If you really want to join in the fun, why don’t you buy a piece of land nearby and build a small courtyard yourself? Not only can you live here, but you can also come to the shop every day!”

When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes lit up.

That was right. She was getting senile. Why hadn’t she thought of that?

“That’s right. I’ll just build a small courtyard and live there. When I’m free, I can even raise a cat or a dog. I can also plant some flowers that I like in the courtyard. I won’t have to worry about others! You’re indeed a straightforward girl. Your words make me feel so happy!” Old Madam Jin said happily.

With that, Old Madam Jin stood up and paid for the noodles before going to buy land to build the house.

Old Madam Jin’s energetic appearance really made people feel that she was in good spirits.

Li Shun came to his daughter’s side and reminded her, “Are you sure it’s better for this old lady to come to our shop often in the future?”

When Li Xiaoran heard her father’s words, she immediately laughed.

“Father, it’s fine! Actually, Old Madam Jin is quite interesting!”

“Alright, if you think it’s interesting, so be it!” Li Shun shook his head and went back to work.

Luo Cheng, who had been looking around the shop, only nodded when he heard that Old Madam Jin was going to build a house here.

Luo Cheng knew Li Xiaoran very well. Since Li Xiaoran had come up with such an idea, she naturally had her reasons.

After the customers in the shop left, Luo Cheng remembered what had happened today and asked.

“Why did you think of letting Old Madam Jin build the house here?”

“She’s too pitiful! She’s trapped and living uncomfortably. If she can overcome it, it’ll be good for herself and her family!” Li Xiaoran said.

Luo Cheng thought about the Kim family’s situation and nodded. He didn’t say anything else.

“Don’t you think I came up with a reckless idea?” Li Xiaoran asked after some thought.

“How can that be? If caring about others is called coming up with a reckless idea, then this world is too disappointing!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and suddenly laughed.

The man in front of her understood her.

“That’s right. There should be more warmth in this world!”

Luo Cheng looked up at Li Xiaoran and smiled at her.

“That’s right. We should give this world some warmth!”

Old Madam Jin was indeed a very proactive person. The next day, construction began on a piece of land not far away.

When Li Xiaoran saw this scene, she couldn’t help but sigh. “It seems that Old Madam Jin is really bored!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he recalled his childhood and couldn’t help but say.

“Actually, the more luxurious the house and the more lavish one’s life is, the higher one’s position is, and the more restricted they will be! Only by returning to one’s true self can one be truly free!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she turned to look at him.

“So have you ever been trapped?”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he looked at Li Xiaoran.

He said nothing. He just smiled in silence.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran recalled that she had once entered Luo Cheng’s dream.

There was a trembling little boy in that ice cave!

Perhaps her husband was trapped at that time!

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran reached out and placed her hand in Luo Cheng’s.

“Husband, it’s fine! You’re free now!”

Luo Cheng nodded and then held Li Xiaoran’s hand tightly.

He had once been in the dark and tried to break free.

Only all these years, he’d never known why he’d broken free.

Now, he finally understood.

He broke free from the darkness only because he wanted to have a warm light!

The person in front of him was the warm light he wanted!

“Brother Luo Cheng, Sister-in-law, so you’re here! I’ve been looking for you two!” Yuan Cheng’s voice came from afar.

Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran turned around and looked over.

“It’s like this! Didn’t she say yesterday that she would keep the shop open? Actually, at that time, I thought of a way. I won’t go anywhere during the new year, so I might as well stay in the shop. Every day, I’ll cook some porridge and steam some buns to sell. I can let the people traveling have something warm to eat!”

Li Xiaoran thought about it and felt that it was a good idea.

“That’s right, we can prepare like this!” Li Xiaoran gave Yuan Cheng an affirmation and continued, “Actually, our family doesn’t have anywhere to go for the new year, so we can indeed open a shop!”

...

“Are you sure? Aren’t you going back to your uncle’s house this year?” Luo Cheng reminded, “I think Mother-in-law has been talking to Father-in-law about this several times. Mother-in-law really wants to go back to her parents’ house this year!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked at Luo Cheng.

“Why didn’t I hear about this from my mother?”

“Mother-in-law naturally won’t tell you, but you have to consider it carefully!” Luo Cheng didn’t say that Luo Ziyang had overheard these words and only asked Li Xiaoran to consider it carefully.

“How about this! Yuan Cheng, you can prepare the porridge, buns, and steamed buns. As for the noodles and other food, we’ll talk about it after I’ve decided!” Li Xiaoran finally said, “You can take the money for the porridge, buns, and steamed buns you sell this time! But don’t be idle. You still have to go up the mountain to pick up some firewood!”

“Alright! Thank you, Sister-in-law. I understand!” Yuan Cheng nodded happily.

At the thought that he could still earn money during the new year, Yuan Cheng felt invigorated.
